This Is What You Do With Your Time??

What did my weekend consist of, you might be wondering. Or not. In any case, I'm going to tell you.

I was minding my own business Friday night at 1.30 am when my bedroom door swung up and a very drunk Luke was standing there grinning at me. Seems Luke had been drinking it up with his new work colleagues and needed a place to crash before his audition the next day. While he was here, he imparted two piece of information to me that I found highly interesting;

1) He's gotten a role in Band of Brothers: The Pacific. I don't know if I'm allowed to say too much about it, but let's all be proud of him - and not at all bitter - that he can now say he's been in a Spielberg/Hanks production.

2) He auditioned for Justice League!!! I kind of had a hunch this might happen when I heard they were auditioning people in Sydney, so I thought I'd ask Luke about it ... and yes, he has indeed done a reading. You can be guaranteed that if he gets cast in it, no matter how big or small his part, I'll be asking him every day if I can come visit him on the set.

The next day, Luke wasn't feeling up to going to his audition, so he re-scheduled it and we hung out watching Cowboy Bebop and eating burgers. Needing to go home, Luke planned on catching a train back, but I figured I could use a drive and elected to take him all the way back to Frankston. After realising neither of us knew how to get there, we consulted the Melways and were on our way.

If you were looking to shoot a film set in the '80s, I'd highly recommend you scout Frankston for locations. It looks like they got to about 1987 and decided to stop letting new shops set up business.

But besides fantastic PD, they've also got a fantastic view. This is the lookout that's just around the corner from Luke's house (I actually found this photo on Google);


That was the sight that greeted me as I drove back after dropping Luke off at his parent's new place. Ashley was there too, recuperating for the week after having gotten her wisdom teeth out.

Anyway, I came back home and ... well ... stuff happened that I'm not supposed to talk about ...

Sunday was pretty much spent quietly enjoying the day.

And now you're all caught up. Riveting stuff, eh?
